Parents on Chapel street should be
very careful of their little ones On Sat
urday evening about seven o'clock,
child between one and two years of age
had in some way gotten on top of the
stone abutment of the b. & o. bridge
that spans Chapel street and was unable
to get down. Had there been a train
due at this time in all probability the
little fellow would have been killed, but
a passer-by seeing his danger placed him
safe on the street below and started him
toSards home.
If there is one thing that amuses us
more than another is, the people who are
doing business here talking about home
trade, and at the same time do not even
encourage home trade by buying what
be; "You buy from me, and I'll go away
to get what want" We know of a
few business men here who go out of
town to get their printing done because
they say they can get it done cheaper.
How do you know? You don't ask our
prices and how can you tell anything
about our rates.
